Her

This movie could be interesting, though itโ€™s not a new idea. The novel Galatea 2.2 which I read many years ago โ€” well, someone obviously had read it also and was inspired by it. As in the novel, the male character in the film is a writer. Pretty clear sign there.

This idea โ€” this conceit โ€” is not new at all however. Orson Scott Card had Jane*. Robert Heinlein had Minerva. Star Trek: TNG had Minuet.

And of course the real love story of Iron Man is Tony Stark and Jarvis.

*And one of the worst betrayals in history was Ender Wiggin turning Janeโ€™s external interface to the world off briefly for idiotic reasons, which at her rate of thought was the equivalent of locking you in a dark room for a billion years. (Why yes, I have read a lot โ€” why do you ask?)
